To form an LLC in Idaho you file Articles of Organization (sometimes called a Certificate of Formation) with the state and pay a one-time filing fee of $100. Idaho is around the middle for LLC filing fees (number 17 of 51). You also need a registered agent with a Idaho address, and most owners get an EIN from the IRS so they can open a bank account and pay taxes.
